Since 2002

Four of the first six stayed twenty years.

We opened in Sunnyside, Pretoria, with six employees. At our 20th anniversary in 2022, Melvin, Vani, Margaret and Oliver had been here from the start. Dr Oliver Preisig, our executive director, has served longest of all: he started on 1 April 2002.

Teams

Close to the labs we serve.

Each regional company has its own team, so support, stock and instrument service are close by.
